Congratulations!

This past weekend was definitely one to remember for the rest of my life. Coming off of week of chauffeuring my relatives around from location to location, I’ll admit that before the actual wedding, the thought of me missing spvegas has certainly crossed my mind. I wondered if I was missing out on crazy post spop memories. I almost failed to realize that I was to embark on one of the best most emotional days of my life.

I had been spending a lot of my time with family as of late. With my sister’s wedding, and her moving to New York immediately following the wedding, these dwindling moments seemed almost surreal. One moment I would be saddened by the fact that these were the last times that the 4 of us would be together as a family again. At another moment I would be happy and optimistic that with my sister gone, I would be spending more time at home and with the ones I love the most. The wedding was absolutely perfect! I observed my dad walk my sister down the aisle, as my always emotional mom could not keep herself from crying. Even with his tough exterior, I felt the love in his eyes and almost sadness to give her hand to her new husband. My dad is certainly an approachable dude, but when it comes to sentimental moments, it is hard to get any emotion out of him, something I have unfortunately developed myself. This weekend, however, definitely made me realize a lot of things about life and how cliché moments really hold true to their expectations. “Love brings people together.” I can’t think of another time where I saw all my family, all of my sister’s friends in unison, celebrating love. I want to congratulate my sister for finding her soul mate and a new older brother whom I can go to for advice.

I had a chance to sit down after the reception and really recollect my thoughts. What is it that I want out of life? I know that weddings usually entice emotions and I have been constantly hounded by relatives asking me about my own dating situation which I found quite hilarious. For some reason, the wedding taught me not to feel pressured, but to be patient. I learned that one should never lets little things sway you from the important things in life. I promised myself to be thankful for the things we have been blessed with rather than to complain about the things that I don’t have. If this summer has taught me anything, it is that as long as you keep a positive outlook on life and have positive goals set, things will work out for the best. I have found myself praying a lot more this summer. Thanking God for giving me a life of happiness and abundance. I feel as if a lot of us, and this certainly includes myself, question and re-evaluate life only during times of conflict. This wedding really opened my eyes and showed me how privileged I truly am. There was not one frown at the wedding and everyone was in harmony. I feel like it is just as important to re-evaluate our lives and thank God for blessing our lives, even at the smallest of moments. I have great friends, and a great life. What did I do to deserve this? This question is quickly answered by looking at my family. They embrace me with love every single day, so in today’s blog I just want to say THANK YOU mom, dad, and of course congratulations to Sally and Sam!

Touch the sky

I came home from work last Friday evening feeling pretty exhausted. No one was in the apartment. Some of the spop heads had gone to Norcal, Eman was doing his thing with spop coordinating, Jeff had left for Vegas for the weekend, and Sunil was probably finishing his own internship Job in Brea. Sigh…with no one to talk to, I prepared myself for a quiet weekend and decided to glue myself onto the couch, watching espn, and a couple old episodes of Entourage. It was now 6:30pm and Sunil walked in. I immediately challenged him to a videogame match. Our conversation is exactly as follows:

Sunil: what you up to this weekend?
Me: Iono, just chill. You?
Sunil: Finish up some school work. Nothin much I guess.

(zone out for a minute as we were playing the videogame)

Me: wanna go to norcal?
Sunil: Sure.

As nonchalantly as it was, the next thing we knew, we embarked on a quite ridiculous trip in San Francisco. And IT WAS SIIIIIIIIICK! From rap battles to Flashmobbing to performing spopapella on stage, this trip was…what’s a word im looking for?...delightful.

This sudden and certainly short trip, showed me that, sometimes, no matter what the unknown is, you just have to say “fuck it” and truly maximize the moment (thanks jeff) that is given to you. I'm not saying go aimlessly into the abyss, without any preparation. Im saying that if there is any glimpse of hope that things will turn out better than your current situation, then GO FOR IT! I admit it isnt that easy, and that I am quite the hypocrite of the previous statement. I am certainly indecisive and often find myself focusing on negative outcomes, almost to a point that I probably missed out on numerous priceless memories. I get sad to think how many times I avoided hanging out with my mom, dad, cousins, friends. Chances are that we would have made fun memories. With that said, im sorry, everyone! Sorry for being selfish and negative! I encourage anybody going through similar regrets to take something small, whether it be an idea, or any sort of passion, and reach for the stars with it! Run with it! Take it beyond its borders! Think of the positive outcomes and run forward with your eyes closed! With the right mindset, one can make any situation one that you can cherish forever. I learned this summer never to underestimate the true potential of the individual. With the right mindset, we can achieve the unachievable!

Put on your favorite pair of shoes and TOUCH THE SKY!
